Ok. You are correct. Yes If they had not been Tazed at that particular second, they MAY not have died right then.

And what is "good ol boy" about not passing judgement?

Really? "Good Ole Boy" So when you dont completely restock your truck at the end of a really busy shift... Lets say your short something simple.... like a kerlix... You want me as your relief to write you up and turn you in to the field supervisor.... Or would you rather me just forget about it.

you sure about that one? So that same person that died after being Tazed wouldnt have died from the same cause; excited delerium, if he would have fought with 5 cops, and had the snot beat out of him? I think you are misguided. Im not personally attacking you, and I dont want this to turn...

Its all a matter of personal prefference. There are people on this site that will use the size of their stethoscope to compare to the size of their.... wll you know where this is going. In the long run whatever works for you. I prefer littmann, but thats not to say anything for anyone else...

I carry a Littmann Master Cardiology. Just go ahead and make the Littmann switch. They have several different models, at different price points. All are superior in acoustical ability.

Im not too sure what your local regulations are regarding First Responders, but the agency that I am employed by has first responders both paid, and volunteer. Myself and other full time employees all have full sets of equipment ( depending on your certification level) either BLS, or ALS...

The Houston / Harris County area is blessed. We have a mutitude of different agencies, all that have specialized capabilities. The agency that I work for has the following: - ALS BLS 1st responders ( off duty employees with full protocols and equip) -Bike Medic Response Team - Disaster...

I didnt mention the lying. My argument was that the thread had lost site of the article. And in regards to the lying... shame on them. But tell me you have never told a lie, and I will show you a liar. My main point is this. Its really none of our place to judge what happened... WE...

Im gonna have to go with Linuss on this one. Ive got friends that are medics all over the country. I myself have considered moving out of state before, and actually done research. And I have come to the conclusion that Texas is superior to most other states when it comes to EMS. Delegated...

Do a little more research. There has NEVER been a death where the Tazer was documented as the direct cause of death. I think you may be referring to death due to excited delerium. If you write to the Tazer corporation they will be happy to send you a copy of the Tazer comendium that was...

If the gun is locked in a cabinet, and only one person has access to it, what the hell is the point? Hey mister.... hang on dont shoot me yet until my partner goes back to the truck and gets the gun out of the locked cabinet...

The old adage applies here... It wasnt your pt. You werent on scene. Dont armchair quarterback, and blame the crew when you werent there to see what really happened. Secondly I think everyone who has read this article has lost sight of something. It's the media... How one sided do you think...

This partner of yours brings up questions of their abilities as a medical practitioner. A-Fid RVR is an ATRIAL rythym. NOT Ventricular. I just consulted with my partner from work as I dont think you can have A-FIB RVR @ 60. She said she saw it one time years ago at somehwere around 90...

Too bad it didnt manage to bring any of your hair back!:ph34r:

I wear that uniform too! And no the uniforms kick A$$!!!

Ok Im gonna split my reply here. 1st off. Going back to what a colleague of mine said years ago ( and still soapboxes students on) Your pt. is NEVER ETOH! You are not a hospital with laboratory capabilities. You are an ambulance. You have no way of drawing labs, and doing a tox screen in the...

Pharmacists, Pyxis machines... Wow some services are rediculous in their practices. As Rid said it doesnt have to be anywhere near that complicated. And as far as a pharmacyst testing the wastage to see if it's really the narc??? I'm sorry but I would take offense to that. HUGE offense. If you...

Holllllly Crap! The hurricane kicked our ***. Still 2.5 million without power / water. The city smells like rotting garbage, trees down everywhere. It really is depressing in certain areas. Not to mention Ive been at work for 5 days now.

Craigslist... Complete B.S. 11.00 in California??? Thats gonna get you what? aLthough would be interesting to see what others are making.
